Behind the flashy television ads and the hyped-up campaign rallies, there is a far quieter but no less intense effort being waged by Democratic incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu and Republican challenger Suzanne Haik Terrell for Saturday's U.S. Senate runoff: a ground war to energize their core supporters and get them to the polls.

As spectators entered, some were given paper fans featuring the image of slaves in a cotton field. Printed on the fans were stories of racial disenfranchisement. Given as examples were the 2000 presidential election in Florida and the Louisiana primary last month in which material was widely distributed in the city with the wrong voting date. The fans were distributed by an organization known as the A. Philip Randolph Institute.

Another day at the office for the race pimps. How sickening.

Andre Treveigne (sp), a local black woman with conservative views who hosts morning talk radio got a call from a black listener about this today and was incensed. The caller was complaining about how dems automatically assumed that blacks would vote for them and thought this was a particularly obnoxious piece because (1) the return to the plantation thing and (2)that it was a wood-stick paper fan (stereotype old black church or funeral). She is interested in doing a follow-up on thi A. Philip Randolph Institute.

Yup, the Demopukes are insulting the Black population again. Cheers to the Republican party--the party of Condie Rice and Colin Powell.

Nice to see that Oliver North is still around. Think we can get him in as senator from Virginia when Sen. Allen runs for president in 2008?

This would be a good election to impound all the ballots and reserve them in a national archive for statistical analysis of vote split patterns, demographics, voting errors/inelligable ballots, vote fraud variations, etc.

With followup validations, such a database would be available to congressional staffs, social engineers and historians and would become the basis for true election reform.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Great Idea! George Allen resigns in 2007 and starts campaigning for President. Ollie is appointed by the Republican Governor of Virginia to finish his term.

George is elected President in 2008, Jerry Kilgore replaces an aging John Warner.

What could be better.

This issue of voter "disenfranchisement" will be used over and over again. Get used to it and start learning how to fight it.
